Lemon Butter Green Beans with Cranberries Walnuts and Feta

Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 Tbsp butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces
• 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries

• Salt
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta
• 2 tsp lemon zest

Directions

1. Set a pot of water over high heat and bring it to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 – 5 minutes, just until they are tender with a little snap. Drain them, rinse right away with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
2. Warm the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the drained green beans and sauté for 1 minute, or just until they are warmed through.
3. Add the walnuts, cranberries, and lemon juice, then salt the green beans to taste.
4. Finish with the feta and lemon zest, and serve warm.
